Wouldn't it be something if members of the TTC Board, City Councillors, Metrolinx executives, and senior MTO officials (including the Minister of Transportation) were required, with reasonable exceptions, to commute by public transit and/or active mobility a bare minimum of once per month.

The word you're looking for, @spaikin.bsky.social, is "wrong". www.youtube.com/watch?v=kS14...

Every time I hear someone say "51st state" all I can think of is Samwise Gamgee in a mesh tank top

Let’s go whole hog and switch to A4 paper while we’re at it! Seriously though, the elevator thing is an excellent idea for how to turn this sh*t show into an opportunity.

YouTube could instantly eliminate like 95% of its AI slop by removing all channels that match the regex /.*-\w{1}\d{1}\w{1}/ Sure, it would quickly descend into a game of alphanumeric whack-a-mole. But it might also save users a lot of "Don't recommend this channel" whack-a-mole. *shrug*

“This week a leading price comparison website reported the biggest annual drop in UK car insurance prices in more than 10 years, with the average cost of cover falling by £161 – or 16% – in the past 12 months.” www.theguardian.com/money/2025/j...

Yes, of course it would. Shouldn't even be posed as a question. NYC only adds to a mountain of evidence that shows (de)congestion pricing is effective.

The way I put it: - Small-government conservative - For climate action - Against the carbon tax You can be any two, but not all three.

Along King, I’d be strongly in favour of removing a bunch of stops (namely Peter, Church, Ontario, and Sackville) and nudging some of the remaining stops to mid-block locations compensate — especially if it came with permanent stop upgrades like proper shelters and bumped-out level boarding.

As a former Big-4 consultant, I'll attest: Pulling the wool over their clients' eyes to obscure their (lack of) qualifications & expertise is a huge part of the business strategy of large consultancies. Way easier and cheaper to game the procurement process than to actually deliver competently.

One of the defining features of modern conservatism is shortsightedness (apologies for the ableist descriptor, in search of a good alternative). <rant>

In other "p_____ before p_____" phrases, it's time for the opposition to put province before party. Ford's majority — the reason his rank corruption goes unchecked — is opposed by almost 60% of the electorate. This is both bad, and easy to fix.

0.5-0.8%. When you take a step back it’s striking how much of the discussion about the carbon tax in Canada - the easiest and least intrusive environmental policy intervention available, more or less, which conservatives say drives up food prices - is predicated on a total lie.

I won't go so far as to say the Venn diagram of greenwashing and well-intentioned aspirational commitments is a circle... but like... maybe greater scrutiny of "aspirational commitments" is a feature, not a bug, of anti-greenwashing legislation?

Thank god John Sewell was on this panel to keep the naked disinformation on bike lanes and congestion in check. www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4xh...

Meanwhile in Ontario we have an openly anti-choice MPP in cabinet whose donors, staff, & family are actively undermining pro-choice protections at the local level (niagarareproductivejustice.com/2024/08/15/o...) — and his colleagues in cabinet and the rest of the government are totally cool with it.

It's actually nuts how much value you can squeeze out of an annual Bike Share Toronto membership. I think I'm down to like $0.25/ride at this point.

Forward to all your friends and family in the 905. Ford does not care one bit what Torontonians think about #Bill212, but if the pushback starts coming from Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Milton... he just might be convinced to back down.

Tell your friends and family in the 905: Doug Ford was informed about the likely outcomes of #Bill212, and he chose to make your commute longer, slower, and more infuriating. www.thetrillium.ca/news/municip...
